Habs Mania Is Turning Up the Heat on Montreal

Montreal loves its hockey like a family feud, and right now that passion is starting to feel like a pressure cooker. The Canadiens are carrying a city that expects every shift to look like a highlight reel, and that kind of noise can seep into the room faster than a bad turnover. The real question is whether the players are hearing the crowd or hearing the clock. When a market this hungry starts leaning in, even simple plays can start to feel like tests.
